True, most of Eorzeans are illiterate, and that is why an education (or owning books) is a privilege and adds a point. I think that's the point of the question. In the third world, the 98% of population is illiterate (1 out of 5 people on Earth, and Eorzea is not Hydaelyn), so yes, even on Earth being literate is a privilege.
Nobody's talking about earth, though. We can't measure this world's societal structure by earth standards. They're not even at the same developmental stage as our third world countries.
Okay, you don't have to participate and I respect your view, as Evelyn Beatrice Hall would say: «I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it»
I'd kindly ask that you do the same and not tell me to just "drop it". I'll leave the rest in the hands of the mods. I am content with having read even just one bit of information about one's character status in society (thank you Kellach) and polite feedback on how to improve the questions (thank you Vodka). My mind is at peace.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
